Abstract
Even after several decades of political and social pressure for diversity, few blacks have advanced to top-ranked decision-making positions in white-dominated corporations. Neoclassical and social structure theories are usually considered opposing explanations of such labor market outcomes. This study, however, indicated that they can be interactive, with human capital mediated by the managerial division of labor.
